INFRASTRUCTURE HELP

In recent approved large scale planning applications, NCC listened to concerns about the town’s infrastructure and determined that monies should be included to help our schools, medical facilities and recreational needs. Council has been talking with Amble’s schools and encouraging NCC to start thinking and talking to them now about the future effects of our gradually expanding population. Health resources are controlled nationally and whilst our Health Centre is aware of our support, there is a country wide shortage of trained doctors. We have had a meeting with the development officer for Active Northumberland, who will be consulted about using the recreational money, to ask that a small community group meets with them to determine how to use the money available to the town’s best advantage.
